Really great battery life, no bugs. Quadrant shows 1000 points but it is so fast like Darky Rom 9.3. Got around 500 MB of apps and everything works (no force closes, bugs...) Now I can even play Mega Jump without lags. Wifi seems okay.

I really like the new Battery Use option.

PS: I used the 3 file upgrade with Odin 1.83 and repartion.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rob014:
very nice rom, quickest to date, the nexus s screen off is a cool addition, gps seems to be a fair bit more accurate, battery life is good (not the greatest ive ever had though).

one thing i don't like about it is the scrolling in the browser, in 2.2 it used to carry on scrolling and gradually slow down. Now it just stops quite abruptly.

Also, there seems to be a bug with the alarm clock, it works when you first set it, but if you come to set it again by just clicking the green button it won't come on. My solution is to go into the alarm setting and just click save then it works as usual.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] Synman:
I quickly grew tired of the "flower power" dialog and indeterminate progress swirls in TnT. Was also annoyed that the Notication icon as a big bold explanation point.

So I swapped in the Gingerbread progress swirls and replaced the status bar Notification icon.

​

Rather than post just the framework-res.apk I packaged it into a CWM .8 update script.

Copy the attached zip file to your SDCARD, boot into Recovery, and apply the zip. Alternately you can just pull out the framework-res.apk file and replace your existing /system/framework/framework-res.apk with the one atttached using a tool such as Root Explorer.

I have been trying to find out if windows 7 mobile is able to support my excel spreadsheet. Some retailers say yes no problem, others say my formulas are to complex, no one has been able to try it for me. How can I find out if my spreadsheet can be read, edited and it calculates properly before I buy?

Does the handset make any differance or is the win 7 the same on all? I haven't purchased a handset as of yet as I am still trying to find out what apps I can use on them. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I very much want excel and word support, pdf reader is a must - creator would be a real plus. Gps would be real nice too.

Thus far I am leaning towards the htc surround, it seems to be one of the better options in my limited market.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sylau90:
before you buy the device,I have to let you know that,unless you are using microsoft sharepoint,if not the office application is kind of useless.

me as a student,I can't even transfer my lecture note to the device and revise it anywhere.

so,think twice before you buy a device
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
onenote is the only thing that you can sync to skydrive. so you can edit them on the web as well.

excel and word on the hand has to be emailed back and forth if you don't have sharepoint.

MS did demo a skydrive client at CES, which will be part of mango update, released in fall 2011, so that will be the resolve, but till then email is the only way to do it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Attila7:
Thanks for the tips, I can see more research is in order.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
You don't have to email word and excel documents in order to make them usable on a WP7 device. You can also choose to sync these items with either dropbox - which has several clients for WP7 - or software solutions like homepipe. Both work fine, either way.

But it's truely just a workaround until MS will provide full skydrive support. Which should have been part of WP7 from day one in the first place.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Attila7:
Transfering isn't a big deal, I would like to put the spreadsheet template on the handset, add in the data as needed and have excel do the calculations. Perhaps a quarterly backup to the computer would be fine. Will the handset excel sync with the desktop app, filling in the fields or would that have to be done manually?
[Windows Phone 7 General] dkp1977:
I never really tried that, because I hardly use excel. But the way I described works with word, so why should it be any different with excel? Just save the file created on your desktop PC to your dropbox folder (or any other folder you can sync with your handset), then download and open it from the client app on your device.
[Windows Phone 7 General] the92playboy:
Well, I just looked into my zune & LG Quantum transfer options, and I could not find any options regarding transferring any type of files that are not music, video or podcasts. EDIT: NM, miss understood your question. I don't believe the spreadsheets will sync. But using dropbox, this wouldn't be an issue, as you would always be opening the dropbox copy of the spreadsheet.

RE: seeing whether or not your excel spreadsheet will run properly, I am not sure how private/personal your spreadsheet is, but you could email it to a user here to test it and report back to you if it works.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Attila7:
Would the dropbox copy be the same as the computer copy? Would someone be willing to try the template for me to see if it will run and calculate properly? That is a great idea! The template is about 1.5 mb. If anyone is willing to try this for me please PM me, thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sayonical:
i use Excel a lot on my windows phone by using a budget spreadsheet I whipped up on my computer. I know there are multitudes of budgets apps but why do that when you can auto calculate averages, sums, and present them graphically with a simple spread sheet? :D

Now at the moment, the only way to get Office docs (Word or Excel) on the phone is via emailing your self or as others suggested dropbox or file server. The downside is changes made on the phone isn't synced back to the source. You have to email the changes to yourself.

Microsoft has demoed Skydrive integration coming in the Fall update. Changes made then will be automatically synced like One note is now.

As for formulas, my formulas and graphs work and show up on the phone just fine! However I am not sure if more complicated ones work as I was unable to edit an excel timesheet from my job on my phone (says unable to open this file created from earlier office version). I am willing to test this template for you.

Feel free to PM it to me.

Also one way to get office documents on the phone iis utilizing skydrive instead of dropbox

1, I mapped my skydrive "My Documents" folder as a network drive on my Windows 7 PC

2. I save all my office documents there. I can edit them, delete them, rename them just as any other folder.

3. One the phone you can access skydrive via the browser and download your files without needing drop box or 3rd party solutions. The downside is being unable to upload them back!

4. Do maintenance, email your changed document and replace it on the desktop yourself.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
how did you do this? i would like to know as i've always wanted to do this as well. Windows Live Mesh doesn't seem to do it the way i want.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justinjbaron:
Hi

Just looked at spare parts battery history and noticed "wifi running" is reporting the same level/% as "wifi on". Is this an indicator that wifi isn't properly sleeping on my phone?

I have wifi set to sleep when screen is off in wireless & networks advanced settings. I could have sworn that in SC 2.9 and earlier, "wifi running" was reporting much lower than "wifi on" with this setting. Also I am experiencing worse battery life since flashing 2.9.2.

Anyone else having the same behavior? Any ideas?

Thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
Hello,

I created a kernel (based on fugumod) which supports all filesystems and has only one purpose, rooting any SGS stock ROM.

It installs:

- busybox

- su

- SuperUser

It also removes annoying boot and shutdown sounds.

Is it safe to use

It is safer than rooting using speedmod or whatever other all purpose kernel as it does not try to start android after rooting, so there is no fs corruption possible. It works even for very new leaks.

How to use:

1: Flash the stock rom

2: Download the image for Heimdall or for Odin

3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall

4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (it is preferred to let the phone connected to usb so it does not loop boot)

5: Reflash the original kernel

How to reflash the original kernel on windows using Odin

1: install 7zip if don't have it already. It has been reported that IZarc or PeaZip may be more reliable.

2: unpack zImage which is in the PDA tar or tar.md5

3: with 7zip, IZarc or PeaZip create a new tar which contains only zImage and save

4: flash the the new tar using Odin

Does it work on ROM XXXXX?

It should work on every ROM since it recognizes all filesystems and does not try to start android.

Busybox was not installed on my device

Please download the updated version and retry, it will work fine.

Odin flashable stock kernel zImages

JVB

jvk? :D :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ock:
I suppose "Even for very new leaks." includes JVK :D

Thanks for any excellent piece of work, nikademus!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
Of course, I created it after JVK. It should support _all_ ROMs
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mothatt:
Thanks, tested and working on JVK
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Valeo:
Whoop!

I was worried that I'd have to wait for Samsung to do their OS code drop before I could switch to JVK, now I won't have to!

Thanks muchly. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] radiohead_apple:
thanks for your great work...

I just wanna know would recovery change to 2e???
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
No, it just roots your device, but once it's rooted you should be able to install another recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tanjiajun_34:
Can someone upload JVK original kernel? I try to delete files in 7zip, it pop up an error message say "Not implanted"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
You may want to try to create a new tar containing only zImage in this case
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] runedrune:
here u go :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
You have been faster than me, I was just about to upload it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcmac7:
Doesnt work for me. Flashed the fugu mod kernal easily but when trying to return to default kernal Odins log just says:

Edit: worked using the kernal runedrune posted. Not sure why mine didnt. Extracted and packed into a tar archive using 7zip.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tonymacc:
Sorry, but in Odin I have to flag reboot?

Example I have to flash your kernel as speedmod kernel?

Tanhks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
You will have to boot once into my kernel, so it's easier if you tell Odin to just reboot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mcmac7:
Also it didn't install busybox. had to install it myself. Just letting you know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
busybox should have been installed in /system/xbin

Can somebody else confirm?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] radiohead_apple:
I don't have busybox either
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Smoky:
I confirm it works very well, thanks !!

Just have to download busybox from market ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
Ok, so could someone do a list of what is inside /sytem/xbin before installing busybox from the market?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
Are you all telling you don't have busybox because of titanium backup?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] radiohead_apple:
no I haven't used titanium backup

I can confirm that busybox not installed

I've checked system/xbin but didn't find busybox

also when using terminal busybox not found
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hudster2001:
My titanium backup says that busybox v 1.18.4 is installed.

Stock GB 2.3.3 installed with nothing else done to it
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
OK, the issue with busybox not installing on some phones has been found, it is now solved. Thanks for those who reported it.

thanks nikademus
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
I use IZarc or PeaZip instead of 7zip. More reliable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mengsuan:
I'm not sure why the kernel at second page would work and the kernel I tar myself will make Odin hang during flashing like the 2 other posts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
Don't use 7zip to make your tars. It somehow corrupts the archive. Try IZarc or PeaZip under windows. There might be other ways of doing it too.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:

It doesn't seem that busybox needs to be updated
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
The version of busybox I install is the latest stable one with everything properly configured and working. So indeed, there is no need to upgrade, you would probably get a downgrade actually by downloading most net available versions.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mariotme:
Great thing that I didn't update it :p

One last question can I delete the fugu folder on the Sd card? I like to keep things clea. I hope you know what I mean :p

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dinoc:
Hi,

On JVB the Kies used to work with the phone but after rooting the phone is not working anymore.

The Kies changes its status when I connect the phone, to Connecting but it remains in this status forever.

anyone else encountered this ?

I've reinstalled the drivers and Kies a few times, rebooted the phone a few times (even did a factory restore) but nothing fixed this issue.

Not sure how to debug this.

It used to work fine before rooting the phone, with stock JVB firmware.

The steps I've used to root the phone are:

I've rooted the phone like this:

- using Odine I've flashed PDA : http://fugumod.org/zImage-root.tar

- then a red fish appeared , put back the phone in download mode

- and reflashed the tar file from Kernel_XWJVB.exe

Did I miss something ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
That is a feature, not a bug, boot sound is utterly annoying.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [Ramad]:
I'm getting the same issue regarding connecting to Kies after rooting using FuguRoot, other than that then this is best mode to root any firmware if I want to stay on stock Kernel.

I'm glad for this future :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mackzen:
I had also problem with kies + fuguroot.

Hope you can fix it :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] renaud:
Can you check if /system/bin/drexe /system/bin/npsmobex are there? If not they need to be restored for Kies to work again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sohoho:
Has anyone figured out how to connect to Kies yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kalki:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 000edu:
First of all, thank you for fuguroot (the easiest way to root the Galaxy).

I can't connect to Kies and drexe and npsmobex are not in /system/bin. i will try to restore them and check again.

But I have a question: could you post all changes fuguroot makes on the Galaxy apart from those to root it?

Al least 3:

1. Boot and shutdown sounds removed.

2. /system/bin/drexe and /system/bin/npsmobex removed (why?)

3. changed gps.conf for europe

Thank you very much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] 000edu:
I restored drexe and npsmobex and now I can connect through Kies.

Here you have both files extracted from KVO_JVO_JVO.tar (Gingerbread 2.3.3 XEU)

You have to copy them to /system/bin, change permissions (755) and change owner and group (root-shell) using root explorer for example.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] {Angel}:
